A Welsh Country Quilt

I can't remember when I took it but it was on a visit to Jen's little Welsh cottage (see below) which is now her shop. Isn't it the perfect setting for this unpretentious quilt?

These simple country quilts were made of large patchwork pieces quite quickly sewn together, but then came the long laborious but wonderful quilting that simply transformed it! Just zoom in and examine the patterning. I just love these quilts!

There's a great article about Jen and her quilts in the current edition of HOMES AND ANTIQUES magazine. Follow the link and here.
